Frases de Lawrence M. Krauss

Lawrence Maxwell Krauss es doctor en Física Teórica por el Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts y en la actualidad es director del Proyecto Orígenes en la Universidad Estatal de Arizona. Anteriormente fue profesor de Física Ambrose Swasey, profesor de astronomía y director del Center for Education and Research en la Universidad Case de la Reserva Occidental.

Tiene un amplio campo de intereses, entre los que cabe destacar la interacción entre la física de partículas elementales y la cosmología, donde sus estudios incluyen el universo temprano, la naturaleza de la materia oscura, relatividad general y la astrofísica de neutrinos. Además, afronta desde una perspectiva física la pregunta sobre el origen del Universo, en su libro Un universo de la nada.[cita requerida]Krauss es autor de más de 300 publicaciones sobre ciencias y divulgación científica,[1]​ Especialmente en el área de física y astronomía. Además, es autor de varios libros de divulgación, entre ellos La física de Star Trek, Más allá de Star Trek, Miedo a la física y La quinta esencia. Su galardonado Historia de un átomo: una odisea desde el Big Bang hasta la vida en la Tierra ha sido traducido al alemán, italiano, holandés, portugués, finlandés, coreano y chino.

El profesor Krauss ha recibido numerosos premios por sus investigaciones, entre los que cabe destacar el Presidential Investigator Award , el Premio al conocimiento científico público de la Sociedad para el Avance de la Ciencia de EE. UU. , el Premio Julius Edgar Lilienfeld de la Sociedad Norteamericana de Física y el Premio Andrew Gemant del Instituto de Física de EE. UU. .

A menudo ofrece conferencias a públicos profesionales y generales, participando asimismo en programas de radio y televisión. Krauss es uno de los pocos científicos de reconocimiento internacional interesados en crear puentes entre la ciencia y la cultura popular.

«Cada átomo en tu cuerpo vino de una estrella que estalló. Y, los átomos en la mano izquierda probablemente vinieron de una estrella diferente que tu mano derecha. Es realmente la cosa más poética que sé de la física: todos son polvo de estrellas. Tú no podrías estar aquí si estrellas no hubieran estallado, porque los elementos - el carbono, el nitrógeno, el oxígeno, el hierro, todas las cosas que importan para la evolución - no fueron creados al principio de tiempo. Fueron creados en los hornos nucleares de estrellas y la única manera para que terminaran en tu cuerpo es si esas estrellas fueron suficientemente amables para estallar. Así que olvídense de Jesús. Las estrellas murieron para que pudieran estar hoy aquí». Lawrence Krauss, 2009 Wikipedia

“Algo muy asombroso es que cada átomo de tu cuerpo proviene de una estrella que explotó. Y, los átomos de tu mano izquierda probablemente provienen de una estrella diferente a la de tu mano derecha. Sin duda alguna es lo más poético que yo sé sobre las leyes físicas: todos ustedes son nebulosas, polvo de estrellas. No podrías estar aquí si las estrellas no hubieran explotado, porque los elementos carbono, nitrógeno, oxígeno, hierro, todas las cosas que importan para la evolución, no se crearon al principio de los tiempos. Fueron creadas en los hornos nucleares de las estrellas, y la única forma en que podrían ingresar a tu cuerpo es si esas estrellas fueron bastante gentiles para explotar. Entonces, olvídate de Jesús. Las estrellas murieron para que pudieras estar aquí hoy.”

Lawrence M. Krauss: Frases en inglés

“I like to say that while antimatter may seem strange, it is strange in the sense that Belgians are strange. They are not really strange; it is just that one rarely meets them.”

Fuente: A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing

“Richard Feynman used to go up to people all the time and he'd say "You won't believe what happened to me today… you won't believe what happened to me" and people would say "What?" and he'd say "Absolutely nothing". Because we humans believe that everything that happens to us is special and significant. And that — and Carl Sagan wrote beautifully about that in The Demon-Haunted World — that is much of the source of religion. Everything that happens is unusual and I expect that the likelihood that Richard and I ever would've met. If you think about all the variables: the probability that we were in the same place at the same time, ate breakfast the same. Whatever. It's zero. Every event that happens has small probability… but it happens and then when it happens; if it's weird, if you dream one million nights and it's nonsense but one night you dream that your friend is gonna break his leg and the next day he breaks his arm… *sound of revelation* So the real thing that physics tell us about the universe is that it's big, rare events happen all the time — including life — and that doesn't mean it's special.”

“The universe is the way it is, whether we like
it or not. The existence or nonexistence of a creator is independent
of our desires. A world without God or purpose may seem harsh
or pointless, but that alone doesn ' t require God to actually exist.”

Contexto: The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.

“In 5 billion years, the expansion of the universe will have progressed to the point where all other galaxies will have receded beyond detection. Indeed, they will be receding faster than the speed of light, so detection will be impossible. Future civilizations will discover science and all its laws, and never know about other galaxies or the cosmic background radiation. They will inevitably come to the wrong conclusion about the universe……We live in a special time, the only time, where we can observationally verify that we live in a special time.”

“My area of research is something that in all fairness has no practical usability whatsoever and the thing is I'm often asked to apologize for that. It is interesting to me that people ask 'what's the point of doing that if it's not useful?' But they never ask that, or do they very rarely ask that about art or literature or music. Those things are not gonna produce a better toaster.”

“The other thing people don't realise about science which differentiates it from religion is that, the most exciting thing about being a scientist is not knowing and being wrong. Because that means there is a lot left to learn.”

“Now, since the time of Newton there had been a debate about whether light was a wave---that is, a traveling disturbance in some background medium---or a particle, which travels regardless of the presence of a background medium. The observation of Maxwell that electromagnetic waves must exist and that their speed was identical to that of light ended the debate: light was an electromagnetic wave.”

“[O]ne of the great things about science is it forces us to refine our idea of what's common sense. It forces us to have our beliefs conform to the evidence of reality rather than the other way around. The universe may not be like we'd like it to be, but it doesn't really care.”
